What Will I Learn?
Experience life in an emergency department
Practitioners of emergency medicine (doctors and nurses) must be able to adequately deal with high-stress, rapid medical detective work, as well as make split-second decisions that can make the difference between a patient’s life and death. This is usually carried out in the most intense department of a hospital – casualty.
As greatly skilled professionals, doctors and nurses must undergo demanding training as medical students, must be able to extract important information from patients that they may have overlooked (or are unwilling to share) all while having extensive insight and readily-available knowledge into a plethora of injuries and illnesses.
